Only (inter)national GLOs allowed
My understanding is that The University of Kentucky only allows (recognizes) (inter)national fraternities and sororities.
A chapter does not have to be a member of NIC (IFC), NPHC, NPC or NALFO; however, they do have to have some sort of (inter)national organization - i.e. governing board or council. In other words, no "local" GLOs allowed at UK.
Do any other campuses have similar restrictions or requirements?
My guess is that the UK Administration does so now for risk management purposes. But frankly, other than GLOs and clubs that became chapters back in the early 1900's, I don't recall any "locals" ever being on campus. Perhaps AchtungBaby80, GtownGirl98, TigerLilly, or UKDaisy can confirm or may have more information.
FYI: Four recognized chapters at UK are not a member of either NIC, NPHC, NALFO or NPC.
Sororities
Ceres
Phi Sigma Rho
Fraternities
Kappa Sigma
Phi Delta Theta
Both Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Theta withdrew from the IFC. And to my knowledge, Ceres and Phi Sigma Rho were never part of NPC or any other similar governing body.
Edited to add NALFO to list of national associations and to correct IFC to NIC.
